"The groom tested positive on April 19. We came here to stop the wedding but, on the request, and guidance of senior officials, the wedding was solemnized. The couple was made to wear PPE kits so that the infection doesn't spread," Navin Garg, a district official, was quoted by ANI as saying.
Gatherings for social and religious purposes have been restricted in Madhya Pradesh and in several states across India, to slow the spread of COVID-19. The state has limited the number of people at weddings to 50.
